Internet not working; Router not connecting with Internet or Wireless Adapter

My internet has ceased to work in my upstairs computer. I'm using a Dynex wireless Internet USB port thing for it. Downstairs, where it is not wireless, the internet is working just fine, and occasionally it will work a bit upstairs. It worked just fine for four months(I've owned it for four and a half), but two weeks ago it stopped playing videos. Then it has had many problems since that point. I was able to get it to work more normally, but it still won't stay up with more than one tab, or when videos are being played, or when searching for images. Please help me.

No it will not work you cannot connect a router to another router wirelessly and it will most likely not be detecting each other, routers are built to transmit internet signals from modems if you have a router and a computer but you do not have your own internet connection that will not work conencting to another router you will need USB Wifi Card transmitter/reciever to be able to connect to your friends wireless internet.

but if your friend only has a modem you can lend him your router and get a USB wifi transmitter/reciever to be able to connect to your router that is conencted to your friends modem this will work but will not work if you and you friend will both have a router creating a network.

If you want to use the wireless portion of your router, you would need a wireless adapter installed on your desktop. If you are getting internet on your desktop then this means that your wired connection is fine to the router is fine. The WMP54G adapter will work with your router, however if you are not planning on connecting to the internet wirelessly through the router then there is no need to purchase the adapter. Hope that this helps you out.

No you do not, but you do need some form of a wireless router to make that Internet connection wireless. Depending on which modem you have that connects to the Internet, you might already have a wireless router.

Your slow connection could be affected by poor location wireless router (therefore poor signal strength), electrical interference, or even someone else with a wireless router transmitting on the same channel as your wireless router.Try relocating your router away from solid walls, and/or move your computer or router to another location.If your connection speed varies, could be electrical interference with appliance/s in your house, turn off all appliances, test your internet speed connecting then turn on one appliance at a time to determine which appliance is at fault (could have a faulty capacitor in the appliance)
